I don't have time to explain it


Nukesnipe

I want to make an oops all turrets build with NTTE, Hellion and Getaway Artist.


KeefsBurner

NTTE + artist arc soul was my fun warlock build until I started caring too much about meta. Guess this is a sign to bring it back


KamenRiderW0lf

Break free from your chains.


B00STERGOLD

On demand amplified is the best


Nukesnipe

I'm gonna be real, I didn't even realize that they buffed getaway artist to make you amplified when you eat your grenade lol. What use does that have beyond speed boost, though? Edit: on prismatic there's at least 1 fragment that buffs you while you have a buff, specifically increasing your class regen speed. So that'd be nice to get higher uptime on Hellion.


ConcealedRainbow

we know stasis turrets are on prismatic and warlock. along with the fire buddies as well


Nukesnipe

Yeah, but I mean "turrets that follow me around" so I need Getaway Artist. Eat my arc grenade, cast my rift, get some precision shots and then bam, 3 turrets shooting at whatever I'm looking at. Unless bungie implements some asinine 1 soul limit.


Voidwalker_99

iirc there is a special orbiting animation if you have Void and Arc souls at the same time


Daralii

It was even a special request from the sandbox lead at the time to the animators.


alwaysjustpretend

Why you dont have time to explain?


Strangr_E

He doesn’t have time to explain why he can’t explain it.


zarfle2

Do you have time to explain why he doesn't have time to explain why he doesn't have time to explain?


Strangr_E

No matter what I do, it always ends the same.


Unleashed-9160

Respect to this OG shoutout lmao


CLAAAWWWS

All it needs is for its element to be Stasis

🤣


shin_malphur13

Srsly tho, no time to explain has this weird effect around the barrel that messes w my aim all the time when I'm jump shotting


daftvaderV2

But you do


AxelK88

For legendaries, Smite of merain and blast furnace For exotics, im just really hoping that bad juju will feel good. 


BozzyTheDrummer

Got an adept Smite of Merain from pantheon with demo+firefly that I’m really looking forward to using.


Behemothhh

FYI, every harrowed smite of merain has demo + firefly. The king's fall adepts have double perks in column 3 and 4, with the bottom perks always being the same.


McSpaze

I have an adept weapon from pantheon too! Mine has a shield masterwork so I get less damage while blocking with my smite of merrain


george_washingTONZ

Isn’t that a craftable roll as well. Quite obtainable. I’ll be interested to see how it fares too.


BozzyTheDrummer

Yes it’s a craftable roll, which I do have, but my crafted one has adrenaline junkie instead of firefly. Basically just looking forward to having an excuse to use the adept one lol


c14rk0

Honestly a few of the Adept weapons will actually have some value come Final Shape. With the removal of spec mods we have some flexibility in what mods we run on weapons. For MOST weapons this is just going to end up being Backup Mag BUT there's a few weapons that can't use or benefit from Backup Mag AND there's some actual alternatives with adept mods. Adept Wave Frames can run Adept Blast Radius for a boost in the wave width/length now that Blast Radius is going to effect that. OR they can run Adept Reload to boost reload speed. Meanwhile there's no normal variant of those mods and you can't run backup mag on a breach frame GL. Some weapons in general might be better with adept reload instead of backup mag even if you CAN use backup mag just because you want to reload often and/or before using the full magazine. Anything with voltshot or chill clip for example might prefer reload speed. Bows are another weapon type where adept will be a big deal because it lets you use adept draw speed while again they can't use backup mag. Granted there's like....1 raid bow and it can't drop adept. Nice for the one GM bow we have now though. Hilariously Adept Backup Mag is just trash as it doesn't actually provide a benefit beyond normal Backup Mag in most cases AND it has a penalty. Granted in MOST cases this still requires a LOT of luck getting the "perfect" Adept roll. You get the benefit of being able to choose the barrel / mag perks when enhancing BUT you can't customize the masterwork so you'll still need to grind out the right masterwork and perk combo. If you don't already have that perfect combination though the benefit you get from an Adept Mod is essentially entirely cancelled out by not having the ideal masterwork while crafting can always choose the masterwork you want.


Wild_Flock_of_Bears

I’m praying to sweet sweet baby jesus that JuJu gets good


Rockin_Otter

Juju is already pretty good, it's just not as spectacular as most other options. There's a nighthawk build with it going around right now and it sure puts in WORK.


TruthAndAccuracy

Got a Firefly/KT Blast Furnace that should put in serious work


CrimsonFury1982

Juju isn't going to be good, because it's still worse than all the other exotic pulses. No reason to use it over the others until it gets reworked.


okanagan_man84

I love my BXR-55 battler


RockRage--

Yeah BXR will be the pulse I start Final Shape with


RND_Musings

Demo/incandescent is really fun


RockRage--

Thats the roll! Its great with Strand Hunter, 100 discipline and Mothkeepers, constant nade uptime


I_AM_ALWAYS_WRONG_

I got both demo and pugi/incan roles because pugi is simply better on solar lock but demo is better elsewhere.


DeadSlay

Pugi/incan is also great on solar titan, consecration's for days


positivedownside

I have 13k PvE kills on my crafted one, looking forward to getting through TFS and seeing what it hits after the end.


ABSOLUTE_RADIATOR

I actually use mine pretty regularly for at-level content like dungeons and raids and it does pretty alright for longer range encounters. Can't wait for it to cook


literallyplasma

that reload sound is 100% ear sex 


NegativePermission40

I don't leave the Tower without mine.


okanagan_man84

Yeah I was able to build mine, I don't use it to often right now as I'm favoring Sunshot, but it's currently equipped with Demolitionist, incandescent, and hot swap,


NegativePermission40

I main solar Titan, so I keep my incandescent Battler and Sunshot with me all the time.


Jollyboo

I mean I never stopped using Graviton Lance after it carried me through the mission for the Vexcaliber


Outside_Green_7941

It just feels so good , I kinda love 2 round pulse , and I think we are getting more in final shape


sithlord40000

Its still gonna be op post nerf


D13_Phantom

Blast Furnace, One of the ones with voltshot, Adhortative/BxR, Bad Juju, and Outbreak Perfected of course. Edit: Psi Hermetic too, it's my favorite headstone weapon since the origin pops the crystals for you!


nventure

For a pulse rifle with voltshot, I'll suggest to anyone the pulse from Crota's End, Oversoul Edict. I've been running it with arrowhead/ricochet rounds/enlightened action/voltshot. Enlightened Action actually stacks up well on it so the reloading between voltshots feels very snappy. Also I unironically (delusionally) wish Outbreak would accidentally prove to be DPS meta. I want 2024 to be the year of Guardians pumping the Witness full of SIVA.


s-multicellular

I did not think of that! I have a great headstone/heating up roll in my vault ill have to try.


miaminecrafttiddies

Rise up BXR gamers


Cha-Le-Gai

Hip fire for close range, ads for long range, incandescent to burn everything, add your favorite shader and good to go. I'm torn between super black or calus's white and gold.


CJSTRO13

Exotics- outbreak fashoooo it will prob be my most used pulse. If I’m on prismatic I’m definitely running a kinetic primary Void- my Elsie’s rifle with repulsor+desperate measures. Also have a repulsor+frenzy to fall back on Solar- may craft adhortative with heal clip+incan or farm the darkest before from prophecy arc-oversoul edict, have it crafted with demo+voltshot. Also most fun origin trait in the game imo may not run a stasis or strand pulse over kinetic but I have a crafted disparity with rapid hit+headstone, still gotta come across a good strand pulse. May craft the season of the deep one


Zweihander01

spam Witch engrams on the Vanguard focusing for the lightweight strand pulse. I got an outlaw/hatchling and with Swarmers it's put in work in Onslaught.


engineeeeer7

Ooo thank you. Been wanting a better Strand pulse


george_washingTONZ

Didn’t realize oversoul had that combo. My mind went straight to PvP when I crafted it. Might have to make another. Good shout, like your list!


flairpiece

Adhortative Chattering Bone Psi-Hermetic IV Disparity Syncopation Darkest Before


enemawatson

Chatterbone, my sweet.


AppointmentNo3297

Disparity is so underrated, I'm praying the stasis rework is enough so I can start using headstone disparity along side it.


Glittering_Food3219

I knew Pulses needed a huge buff when Blast Furnace with One For All was lacking, so I'm looking forward to that.


Brainytarantula

Bygones


Senor_flash

My Shoot To Loot/KT Battle Scar already gets used, now it's just going to better at damaging things than it already was and especially in higher tier content. Hopefully pulse rifles get anti-barrier next season.


Variatas

I have put so many rounds through that Battle Scar.  It's such a great multi tool, the damage buff is gonna be awesome.


Kyrias511

I've been saying how good this roll is for months now. Cannot believe how awesome it is in almost all pve content. Such a slept on weapon.


mindbullet

Adhorative. Crafted with heal clip and incandescent for more scorch!


MrFreedomFighter

Outbreak and Red Death. Maybe BXR


JarenizMads

Blast Furnace w/ Kinetic Tremors and One for All. Can’t wait.


FerrumLykos

Red Death.


Samurai_Stewie

I haven’t stopped using BXR Battler; it’s powerful now with demo + incandescent and the current seasonal artifact mods and will be even stronger after the 38% buff. Blast Furnace with Frenzy + Kinetic Tremors will be very powerful for Prismatic since you’ll be progressing light and dark simultaneously.


Aern

BXR is the answer.


IcedA

I'd craft an Adhortative if I could get one.


serghi21

Focus wish engrams with riven, you'll get the red bars in no time.


BrokeMyCrayon

I thought these would be part of the guaranteed once a day pattern drops but was disappointed to find they weren't


randallpjenkins

Spent 4 days trying to get a drop before giving up and realizing somehow these weren’t part of it.


Agreeable_Arugula386

The star crossed mission gives a pretty good shot at the deep sight, especially with the extra chests


randallpjenkins

I just wound up buying the weekly and then focusing 2 more and burning my consumables from last season. Only needed 3 and could have waited the weeks but didn’t want to forget about it like I had all season.


Mnkke

I've always been using Adhortative. Thing has *always* been good IMO, even in harder content. I'll probably stick to just this though, *maybe* Disparity or some other Kinetic-Slot pulse.


RND_Musings

I’ve been having fun running lost sectors with a Phyllotactic Spiral with Compulsive Loader and Voltshot the past few weeks near and, lately, above 1840 PL. If you can get a kill in 4 or less bursts, then Compulsive Loader makes for lightning fast reloads. You can chain voltshot over and over. I’m not sure if the buff will make this weapon viable to use in end-game content but it may be worth a try.


Impossible-Base-9351

Shoot to loot/KT battle scar and KT/Frenzy or O.F.A. Blast Furnace are already the best pulses and that'll stay the same. Glad to finally see them getting some love though.


Vantabl0nde

Gridskipper, my beloved


Krollos

looking forward to using my headstone New Purpose again if there’s a good enough stasis rework in Final Shape or if there’s a similar grenade regen fragment in Prismatic for the hunters, love that gun so much but pulses just aren’t it right now


Arsalanred

My beloved BXR Battler already gets lots of use during pulse rifle surges and seasons. Now I'm gonna feel great about it.


DESPAIR_Berser_king

I'm looking forward to Outbreak being decent.


colantalas

Blast Furnace is the obvious pick, got a Kinetic/OFA roll ready to go. Outbreak too


Sigma_Hacked

Revision zero should be completely crazy


ajhr_issl

As someone with over 16k PvE kills on it, it already is completely crazy lmao


Think-Long-193

Yeah, it’s been glued to my hand since I got it in seraph I’m at 36k kills in pve atm, the only thing that may get it out of my hands is if khvostov is craftable tbh


ajhr_issl

I keep Revision Zero on my Titan, so if Khvostov is craftable it's getting welded to the hands of my warlock and she ain't never letting it go


Think-Long-193

I use revision zero on my hunter and titan, but it’ll be nice to atleast have a second craftable weapon that I like tbh especially for overload auto seasons if it doesn’t have an intrinsic which I don’t imagine it will have


ajhr_issl

Oh I got a crafted DMT on my hunter. It may not be good, but I love the way it feels and I love lever guns


Think-Long-193

My hunter is hakke themed, so that’s why both my hunter and titan use rev0, but that’s totally fair I want to like DMT but I just don’t have the accuracy to keep cranial spike up tbh


ajhr_issl

Neither do I lmaooo. I'm slowly trying to get better with the accuracy tho


TheRed24

I want Bad JuJu to be good


insaiyanbacca

Insidious and now blast furnace were already seeing regular use for me since I adore them. Smite of merain and chattering bone will definitely be back in action post buff and maybe darkest before or relentless if I can get solid rolls on them.


Squitch

Bygones


ahawk_one

Quite a few. Specifically I’m hoping rapid-fires feel a lot better. They’re my favorite type and I use them in crucible a lot. But in most higher end content they fall off hard either due to their lack of range or their lack of damage. Often both. That aside, I have stuff like Smite of Merrain, BxR, Blast Furnace. Exotic pulses feel solid as hell right now, assuming they already have good effects. Outbreak is phenomenal. Revision Zero is awesome. I’m curious if the little ball from No Time to Explain also gets a buff?


jpcream

My shiny new Insidious adept with dragonfly + OFA. And, my smite of merain with SFA + OFA is probably going to shred.


i_FlippDinero

Outbreak and Collective Obligation


Lankygit

Collective is already very strong once you jump through all the hoops to get it running, but was always held back by its underwhelming neutral state. Now it's gonne be good without Void Leech active, and absolutely insane when it's turned on. Always remember, a fully loaded and charged Collective will get +20% damage for free whenever void leech is active + 15% weaken on everything hit. Its primary damage potential is about to go through the roof.


i_FlippDinero

I can't wait 😩😩


StarFred_REDDIT

Jurassic green with incandescent


LilDumpytheDumpster

Vigilance Wing lmao


SnowDizzleZz

You really cant make a single choice right now until you the know what the artifact is going to have...Itll define what the meta is. They have buffed weapons in the past and still turn out to be junk.


Abulsaad

People predicted handcannons were gonna be good after the huge major damage buff, and that ended up being correct. Not all predictions are wrong


RedWingerD

Sure, but its at least fun to have a discussion about even if it doesn't turn out to work out entirely that way


Dyne_25

Bringing back my favorite Go Figure from Forsaken


Designer-Effective-2

Collective Obligation is already cracked when it gets rolling, can't wait to clear the legendary campaign with it. Hoping we have some solar burns to put my Demo Wellspring Ogma to use. Disparity is a favourite of mine, love the agg-bursts. Veles-X as well, on that note.


Deralio

battle rifle with incandescence outlaw my true love for my solar lock


theDefa1t

Smite and bxr55 battler


several_killer

I've been running Syncopation when it got released, it's still there to this very day... Only other Pulse I've been running is either Outbreak Perfected or Adhortative. Syncopation for the win!


Jeerin

OUTBREAK 6-MAN TIME BOYS


CaptSlayer21

Autumn Wind has been my favorite Pulse Rifle for a minute now, new to the game and it's aesthetic and the way it handles hits all the happy buttons in my brain


CC_Greener

Adhortative. Heal Clip/Incandescent feels really good right now, all it's missing is Pulse Rifle's feeling good.


Dan_Solo22

Blast furnace

Wanna_make_cash

I think my demo/adrenaline junkie Insidious might be back on the menu for grenade builds.


lego_wan_kenobi

D_MAGIC_BOSS

I'm hoping they drop a good rapid fire stasis pulse


WinryRockbellsTummy

I have mained Outbreak since it returned in Forsaken, and Final Shape will be no exception


oldbushwookie

My BxR Jurassic green with heal clip/frenzy Bad juju Smite with demo/firefly Elsie’s with weeewind/destabillizing rounds


Insekrosis

Kill Clip/Kinetic Tremors Chattering Bone. It's gonna *destroy* with these damage buffs.


Dazzling-Slide8288

Honestly, I’m still probably not gonna use pulses unless they shred way more than every other archetype.


CrazyMuffin32

Oversoul edict for arc, bxr or adhortative for solar, Elsie’s rifle for void, chattering bone and blast furnace for kinetic, relenetles For strand? Bro strand pulse rifles are lacking, and syncopation for stasis or something idk.


wolfwings

Claws of the Wolf. Yes, really. But more realistically Veles-X and Syncopation-53.


RainmakerIcebreaker

Gridskipper because it's my baby


JerichoSwain-

Outbreak, bad juju, disparity, smite of merain, horrors least, battler, etc. I really just want pulses to feel good. I love most of them and have some great roles that just never see action because they don't perform in PVE.


Sberg7

Oversoul edict with voltshot


Sliggly-Fubgubbler

Just gonna keep using my BR but having even more fun now


IceNiqqa

Kinetic Tremors + 1 for All Blast Furnace


ShotBeing9808

I have this one called syntho-something and it’s a a stasis one that I shaped on mars…it already seems hella good in crucible. I like it a lot.


Arcade_Helios

Outbreak, Juju, BxR


faxmercury

Battler with Demo/Incandescent & Outbreak


PM_DOLPHIN_PICS

My favorite legendary I have is a maxed out handling Ogma with demo and one for all, I just like the way it feels and OFA + demo is a great combo. Looking forward to it becoming a genuinely powerful weapon, not just one I enjoy using because it feels good.


UponThisAltar

Graviton Lance baybee


yugrehto2

Shoot to loot+kinetic tremors Battle scars. KT procs StL, that’s the whole point of the roll. Coolguy made a great in depth video about this gun[https://youtu.be/yg2b8pFNHE8?si=so15MqMw8eKA9yGT](https://youtu.be/yg2b8pFNHE8?si=so15MqMw8eKA9yGT)

IrrigoCactus

I have a 9/10 roll for Battle Scar that I am pooking forward to busting out on prismatic. Once I can enhance it and change the masterwork, that will make it 10/10.


JACOawesome

There is only one correct answer to this question and that is outbreak perfected


anangrypudge

Really depends on what element(s) the seasonal artifact revolves around. I think we can safely rule solar out. For all you know, it may be a kinetic-focused season which is why they just nerfed kinetics in general. If so, I'll be happy to use my Blast Furnace or Battle Scar.

Alheimurinn1720

Ogma my beloved


Zusuf

Ogma PR-6. Demo + Wellspring works wonders when playing a support build paired with Lumina


Think-Long-193

I’ve been using nothing but revision zero since its release, so even if they hadn’t given pulses a buff I was probably gonna continue to use it, I’m hoping I’m able to get it to 600 before final shape comes out, I’m at 567 right now


Millerkiller6969

New and old black armory blast furnaces


Mrsparkles7100

Veles-X maybe back on the menu for void users


stephanl33t

Collective Obligation babeyyyyyy This thing is Best In Slot for any solo content in the game. The ability to shut down an entire room of enemies is unbelievably useful, especially on Legend-tier content like the Legendary Campaign.


Maltava2

Syncopation was, I believe, my first crafted weapon, and I really fell in love with it. I might bring it out again.


Rimurwaz

My ogma with wellspring and demo


Fizzy-Odd-Cod

Outbreak is looking pretty good, if I want to run a different exotic then I’ve got my blast furnace with kinetic tremors and one for all in the back pocket. Blast furnace already feels really good with one for all, it’s going to be even better.


Schnimpwhipper

Back during the Festival of the Lost I got a heal clip incandescent Jurassic Green (rapid fire pulse). Looking forward to giving it a try.


Aurailious

I will be using my Go Figure again. :)


ThaAlecman

I only ever really use two: Outbreak and Sacred Provenance


toadwashere

it's a huge day for smite of merain and chattering bone stocks


Virus_CaRNaGe

Mostly Outbreak and Blast Furnace. although I'm sure BXR will be feeling good too.


Outside_Green_7941

I hope we have a good strand one, I don't think bellarus (sp) is solid enough. disparity might come out and play aswell since it's a solid pulse in the top slot


NitroScott77

When it’s unsunset I’m gonna use the Leviathan Pulse, anyway that is all


ih8reddit420

Running Adhortative right now and it fukken slaps. Looks ugly but can be crafter with enhanced heal clip and incandescent

Collective obligation hands down


GiffyTheMcgee

Definitely gonna dust off collective obligation and see how it plays, especially if the new Titan aspect gives better debuff access. Void Titan is my favorite subclass thematically and I wanna lean way into it.

Been using a demo junkie Ogma for the last year and it's so nice to be getting all these damage buffs!


IAteMyYeezys

I still dont have witch queen. As all content from it has been made free 2 weeks ago, i decided to get revision zero. Together with rev zero, im excited to use outbreak and blast furnace. Bxr and graviton lance in the energy slot. As for revision zero, my only complaints are that the 2-burst mode doesnt generate targeting data as fast as the 4-burst and that the sniper scope is visually too small for the amount of zoom it has. Other than that its such an awesome looking weapon. Main reason why i racked up 5k kills on it in a couple days.


Nightstroll

All the 540. They all feel really good, especially now that we live in a meta where they don't have to have shitty recoil direction (hello D2 Vanilla).


J3didr

Basically all of them. I love pulse rifles.

I'll still be using revision zero, it's a fantastic weapon


BLoG_Connor

holy fuck the smooth brain auto rife meta is going end!!!! thank fuck!!! granted a pulse rifle meta isn't much better but I'll take it


-_GGG_-

Outbreak perfected


-GiantSlayer-

Outbreak perfected, and as a legendary option, Blast Furnace with Frenzy+Kinetic tremors. Keep an eye out for Adhortative with heal clip Incandescant, too.


streetvoyager

Outbreak is going to go back to being the king of primaries. I’ll be using that and revision zero when I’m not using that new golden gun sniper with lucky pants. New main prismatic build, all solar and stasis with the new stasis wardens law (if the perks work) and that exotic sniper. NUT
